Commentary by William Jackson:

A few affected antiquated spellings have been thought, by one half of the world, sufficient to weigh against modern phraseology, modern manners, and even modern facts. Surely it requires no great discernment to discover that what has existed may be imitated, but nothing less than the gift of prescience can dive into futurity. If it is improbable that an uneducated boy should be able to produce what are called Rowley's poems, it is impossible that Rowley could write in a style and allude to facts of after times.
